Hi all, another noob volunteer here! Bringing 3 others with me Cant wait to meet some awesome peeps!
We were in the same boat on the camping thing, Brooke - Warner and Town Park were donezo. Went with Lawson over Ilium, bc of the distance and hoping there’d be more of a party scene. I’m kinda kicking myself on that now cuz Ilium sounds pretty cool :bag Anybody know if there’s pickin happening at Lawson? If it’s lame, can we party at TP and catch the last bus to Lawson? What are my chances of buying TP tix on the forum and then selling my Lawsons later on?
hey all, just wanted to bump this thread again to keep the volunteer talk going… I was wondering if anyone else is working the cleanup crew? Kinda curious as to how camping will work for us monday/tuesday…
Hey I am volunteer newbie and go stuck with camping at the High School I wanted to camp at Illium I love the outdoors and have seen the spot and wanted to be there but I sat too long and now its sold out. Any tips on switching tickets with someone? Any tips for volunteering?
Hi heaubeau (love the handle btw - classy :lol) I meant after.
PS. when I wondered if Lawson was “lame” I just meant “quiet” as I’m looking to :rock I truly don’t believe there will be a lame place in town that weekend! just haven’t run into anybody mention the Lawson vibe yet
This will be my fourth year volunteering… I LOVE to contribute back to this awesome festival by donating a few hours. The kind folks at the Planet are always very understanding and do their best to schedule you so you don’t miss your faves…
~ As for Lawson, I camped there my first year (before I discovered the awesomeness that is TP) and we definitely had some fine pickin circles in camp… Of course it didn’t hurt that my group brought along 3 musicians… LOL
hipchc, that video makes me happy! I can’t wait! actually, the more I look at Lawson and Mountain Village, I’m thinking it’ll be rad. Rally mountain bikes on those trails to the festival and gondola back if I’m too tipsy to ride :cheers I’m stoked to pitch in as also - the organizers have been amazing, and I’m sure It’ll be a good way to meet folks too! Plus Cleanup lets me see more bands and have days after the fest to explore telluride by bike :thumbsup
Mooner, I guess the high school is all that’s left and going fast. They have a section on the site about area camping if you want to drive: http://www.bluegrass.com/telluride/camping-nonPB.html You might stand a good chance at finding a single ticket on the forum here if you wanna spend the $. Where are you driving in from? If you happen on a Lawson spot, LMK - you’re welcome to hang in my group :wave otherwise I’ll see ya tearing down those stages! I feel like that might be an interesting experience after an intense weekend to then help make it all go back to a peaceful scene… :angel
I was hoping someone more knowledgeable on the subject would answer that one, I don’t have much clue about post festival camping, but am under the impression that Town Park (less the preserve area) and Ilium are the only two campgrounds you can stay at
past Monday (but you have to pay the normal fees).
ya figured TP…maybe they’ll have the hookup for us on the fee. I expect nothing to clean up tho (except banjo strings and bacon grease) :rolleyes guess we could grab a spot out of town or Ilium too but I’m hopin to stay on 2 wheels - meh, play it by ear. Thx Hobo!
Although it is possible to Camp in Town Park post-festi, everyone will need to pack out all their gear and then go pay for camping at the Town Park office and set up camp again. I know, bummer, but that’s how Telluride rolls.
Cant wait to meet some awesome peeps!
